Thank god for Doki Doki, said no one, ever, until now [start of week III]

[eldritchwheelies]

So... it's clear to me that I'm compromised. I will almost inevitably ████ ██ ███ ██████ before the end of the week.

You may have noticed that you didn't hear how I actually referred to "become one of the Conductors;" it got bleeped out. That's a consequence of an S-Tech technique of mine kicking in, one I'm willing to teach to others if you think it'll help. Convenient Censorship, it turns out, does kick in when you absolutely, positively need to sound like the entry for SCP-2521.

Something I'm familiar with as a student of Occultar Academy and a three-time cultbuster there. You know, the Foundation-run minimum security containment cell for teen skips like me and my class, on scenic █████ Island off the west coast of the USA, near the Pacific ████.

Also, I am in fact aware that the Foundation skiplist appears on other worlds. So is our Foundation. We blame SHUIZN.

Anyway. Tangent. This affords me a unique opportunity to test out what meme phrases come up Conductive, and since I know better than to fight it at this point, that's what I'm going to do. I will not be the person who infects the entire Traveller psychic network. And I will inform you of what memes I can think of that are Conductive.

As an aside, try not to refer to Grant's wilder theories using the example of a certain group of Bavarian proto-feminists associated with the Eye of Providence; and don't grouse about how long it's been since one of his more galaxybrain takes has borne ominous fruit, particularly in terms of the number of days since the last time.

Godspeed, y'all.

I... Don't know what An SCP or what this Foundation is, but that definitely seems like something useful.

I've only just started learning these memes so I think I'm safe, but I'm already balls deep in the conductor network myself and, well, I have my own memes. I'd rather not whammy both Uila and Felih like that.

Would you be able to teach me?

[eldritchwheelies]

Getting the Xpression Virus is as simple as my breathing at you. Learning to control it, to use actual S-Tech? Yeah, that I can do.

...eff me, that's the reason Leah has ears and a tail. Clever girl. I might let my Audiocaudial out for this and go catgirl just to let people know when I'm sending messages. Watch when her ear twitches and when her tail does, that's a deliberate tell.

[levelthreehooligan]

Ah, It's one of those!

I think Naoya managed to give me the one with the ears a while ago. This one seems far more useful, I shan't lie-

Wait, that's a thing? We can use our ears to let people know?

[amadine]

That ridiculous Jaunt was actually good for something? I might genuinely die of shock.

Though spreading one infection to solve another might well cause its own problems.

[eldritchwheelies]

I'll take blushing neon magenta and seeing crushes as red strings of fate over spreading an infohazard any goddamn day of the week.

It's like a gut bacteria that helps you digest milk. Gross as hell if you think about it, but you're glad to have it.

[amadine]

And conjuring up emotional storms and broadcasting what you're thinking as a blazing sign for all to see?

To say nothing of what new hell the Diabolin might make from it, if it takes root here.

[eldritchwheelies]

Point. Just... it's so tremendously useful in this specific use case that I feel it might be worth the risk.

It's too late for me, I already have the Dokis. May as well extract some use out of the third worst Jaunt I ever went on.

[amadine]

I don't object to using the tools you have - just to giving that particular one the chance to spread further than it already will by nature.

If that's the third worst, I almost envy your luck. Almost.

[eldritchwheelies]

I mean, second was the OG grid and the first was being infiltrated into Harrogate, so. Save your envy.

[amadine]

[There's a weary huff of amusement.]

We shared all three of those. It never ceases to amaze that Harrogate managed to be more hellish than the Jaunt that quite literally brought us immediately next door to hell.
